What is the Met Gala? We might think that this is another event that gathers all the celebrities in their posh outfits, but the Met Gala, or Costume Institute Gala, is a fundraising ball for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute based in New York.
I feel like the themes of the Met Gala are getting increasingly obtuse and that there is some very, very, very loose interpretation of said themes.
Wow, never seen this before 😳 Up to number 7 out of 30 cut from 54...& not a single comment for 3 days.
The very first gala was held in 1948 to raise money for the new Costume Insitute. The gala also marks the opening of the annual exhibition. Since then, this ball is known as one of the most important events of the social elite.
People who are interested in the Met Gala each year get to see a variety of extravagant pieces of clothing, very much reminiscent of costumes. These outfits vary according to the theme that is picked to represent the annual exhibition. This year’s topic was “American Independence,” so the guests and designers had the opportunity to express their ideas on the matter through various national elements and colors.
For those who are interested in numbers, in 2019, the ball raised 15 million dollars. According to New York Times, the tickets for this event cost 30,000 dollars. And even if this sum of money would not be a problem to the biggest celebrity guests, it is known that the guestlist for this event is prepared all year long. It is also very common for some celebrities to be invited by designers whose pieces they later wear at the ball.
Better being boring, than dressing in ridiculous clothing.

That's why Lil Nas X is coming along like the flamboyant swine he is and totally changing it up. Love it. I live.
Well one of them recently did pelvic thrusts in a mouse costume in the middle of traffic so I don't know what his excuse is.
As handsome as they may look, I admit that is kind of boring. Should've added a twist
"Come with women"😏 I see what you did there😏😹🤣😹

His Nana knitted that for him when she found out he was going out late to a party.
She's too young to even know what vintage really is! And who is she?

I don’t think there is a single event I care less about than whatever the met gala is.
Really? How strange you spent time looking at this article then. Have you been kidnapped and forced to look at it?

So what is the point of this event? Is it basically rich people Halloween?
In the past the METGala used to be a very prestigious fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of art (specifically their costume institute). Esteemed designers within the fashion world would dress their celebrity muses in elaborate costumes based on a specific theme. Some of the outfits were actually incredibly gorgeous. Now they invite TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube "Influencers" and there very few people who dress with the theme in mind. So yes, it certainly looks like it has devolved into rich person Halloween.

Totally not a fan of the Kardashians, but say what you will, Kim was in way more of these posts than anyone else. She knows how to get attention.
Its a joke. They call it an.A-List affair but only Zero-List idiots show up draped in string trying to.close as much as possible. Don't e enough get me started with theM at-trashcan bull
Really? Billie Eilish? Lorde? Lupita N'yongo? Chance the Rapper? Debbie Harry? Elliott Page? Rihanna? Jennifer Lopez? Megan Rapinoe? Alicia Keys? Tracee Ellis Ross? Ciara? Tom Ford? What do they all have in common? They aren't Tiktok, Instagram, or Youtube influencers. If you don't have a reference for ANY of them that's fine - but don't throw out bullshit. BONUS INFO: Here's a list of awards Billie EIlish has won. I wouldn't call her a zero-list idiot ....Billie Eilish has won 12 awards - MTV Video Music Award in 2019, MTV Video Music Award in 2019, MTV Video Music Award in 2019, Grammy Award in 2020, Grammy Award in 2020, Grammy Award in 2019, Grammy Award in 2019, Grammy Award in 2019, Grammy Award in 2019, Grammy Award in 2019, American Music Award in 2019 and American Music Award in 2019.

This is coming from an American- what the f**k is the met gala. Because another comment summed up what I just saw by calling it "rich people Halloween"
These are all the outfits they won't wear at the awards shows but someone dared them or they lost a bet and this is where they pay up.
